Invader Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 i just bought my first banshee and damn what nice bikes i have been missing out on its all stock it has a pro air filer and nerfs and thats it its all stock i just got my income tax and dont know what to put in the bike or where to start what a good start for the bike and if anyone has parts for sale let me know just tell us how much you have and we can spend it for you!!! :biggrin: The first think i would do is get a set of pipes. I won't go into what type, you can use the search to match some to your style of riding. Also a timing plate, or if you can do it yourself. there is a great link on this site that walks you through it. Next maybe some front arms and shocks. i run alba +2+1 with elka's and really enjoy them. But there are definityly better sets of arms. other than that just spend some time on the HQ and you will spend that check in no time! Quote
pinned247 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 First thing I'd do is get some pipes and re-jet. Quote

R. Rollins Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Better yet: Every new bike I get , I first scrub the shit out of it, do all the maintenance, hit all the rust areas, and pull off all the plastics to really shine her up good. Then take note of any descrepancies like needs new air filter, plugs, wiring harness or throttle cable and fix that first. Next, service the brakes, clutch adjustments and shock adjustments for your body weight. The best is to flush the engine with new oil and ride for only a few hours and flush it again. This will remove any residual metal filings that have collected in the crank case over the years from the previous owner who may or may not have done any services at regular intervals. Then get a professional polisher 7 inch variable speed type, slap on some wax and polish the hell out of the plastic, moving the buffer all the time while polishing or it will burn it. Order a carb syncronizer tool or vacum tool as shown on the BansheeHQ website. Finally , get the pipes, jet kit, and K&N filter assembly put on, remove the snorkel off the top of the air box and drill about 6 1/2 inch holes through the top of the air box to get more air. (Note: only drill through the first layer of the top of the airbox lid.) Finally, Install the jets, install the carb adjustment screws that usually come with a TORS eliminater kit. syncronize the carbs and you should be able to crank her with your bare hand when adjusted properly with only one crank of the wrist. Enjoy the She man; Have fun with her and after a few months you will know what else you will want to do to her. You will also know your riding styles and riding areas preferences by then. WEAR A HELMET, (DOT AND SNELL aproved). Welcome to the brotherhood of the most exiting ATV ever. I waited for over 20 years to finally own one. I rode one of the first to hit teh showrooms back in Christmas of 1986. I said that one day I would have one. I now have two, recently and finally purchased after all these years of wanting one. with that said, I will never EVER sell them. Yours is a really nice bike man. Cherish the fun times. I know I do each and every ride. :biggrin: Quote
